Features of fire retardant MDF

• Smooth surface – The manufacturing process of fireproof MDF ensures that the board is free from knots and other veneer inconsistencies found in plywood.
• Fire-rated MDF board complies with the European classifications BS EN 13501-1. This compliance is tested by considering aspects such as lateral flame spread, total heat release, fire growth rate and smoke production.
• Low swelling in thickness – As opposed to the other typical flame retardant surfaces, the features of FR MDF remains constant when the boards are sanded or machined.
• It is ideal for dry surface applications (veneer, melamine facing, foil and more).

The wood used to manufacture the MDF comes from a well-conserved and sustainable source. You can track the MDF boards from the start to the end user.
